Sriracha, Spotted Everywhere

May 20, 2009

While eating with my in-laws at a stodgy fish restaurant in suburban Massachusetts, I asked the waiter for Sriracha, almost just to see what he would say. But he nodded knowingly, and brought out a dish of the red, garlicky hot sauce. That’s when you know that Sriracha has hit the mainstream. That, and when Applebee’s is using it to flavor fried shrimp.

Over at the Times, John T. Edge has a great article about the American nature of Sriracha, and the Diners Journal blog has been searching for dishes made with Sriracha in all 50 states. But they’re missing a few–anyone spotted Sriracha in Connecticut or Delaware? Tell us and post your sighting here. After the jump, see the state Sriracha dishes they’ve found so far.
